Fiat 128 Estate

Here’s a rarely-seen-in-US Fiat 128 three-door Estate.

As the seller states, some might mistake this for a Datsun 510 from a distance.  Sadly, this is a front-wheel drive car, unlike the Datsun; but the big upside – aside from pure rarity- is its unique three-door wagon body.

It looks like the current owner has started minor body work, as the car is mostly in primer.  We like the apparently original green color, however, and would return it to that.  Given there’s no price listed, we can’t comment on the deal here.  This is just a cool, rare oddity that deserves to be saved.

The front end of this is pure 70s Fiat.  There’s nothing wrong with that.

We’re fans of the three-door wagon body style.

Styling is delightfully funky from this angle.  Wheels appear differ on each side.

Cargo capacity is pretty good.

Interior is functional, if not luxurious, and appears to be in very good shape.  Hopefully, the floors are solid.

This is likely a 1.1-liter four-cylinder, so don’t assume the buyer will experience neck-snapping torque.  There are signs of recent maintenance here, which is generally good.
